Investing for beginners: What is an IRA?

[@YOUandMaine]

If I were your mom or dad, I would be very proud of you. You are thorough, genuine, and a gift to YouTude.

That's one of the nicest YT comments I've received! Thank you so much!

We need more videos like this

[@TheWhitneyHansen]

Thank you so much!!

Totally stupid question 🙈where do you set those accounts? I'm really don't know

[@TheWhitneyHansen]

Not dumb at all-- it took me a while to figure this out too! Check out my video series on how to set up your brokerage account and invest your money. It will walk you through all of the confusion!

If you’re self employed what’s the benefit of opening a IRA vs a general investing account on Vanguard? (Assuming I’ll contribute the same amount of money each year in both)

[@TheWhitneyHansen]

Great Q- IRAs have tax benefits that a general investing account doesn't have.

Thank you! 🙏

I’m at TD Ameritrade, Idk if I’m set up as IRA or RIRA! I should find out. 🤷‍♂️

[@TheWhitneyHansen]

Definitely so! I would imagine it will show when you log in to your account. 🤔
